Even MOAR terrain!

This is addictive.

Got the downed ship in a trade last year; been meaning to get it based up for some scattered blocking terrain. I think it'll break up things nicely. I don't know if that's where the tail goes, but fuck it, it's glued and already primed.

The statue piece I've had for a while, just needed a little love to get it done. I think it'll make a cool centerpiece for the table. I imagine some Chaos thugs blasted it and will be adding some heretic graffiti to it once I get it painted.

I still have a TON of bitz to make walls, buildings, destroyed vehicles, elevator shafts, etc. I may need to stop and concentrate on getting these done first though!

40k Terrain WIP Part 2

Got a few more of these close to being done. Added some static grass, blood spatters, and propaganda posters on all of them too; adds a little color here and there. 

I rolled out my playing mat and they look good matched against the cityfight colors of it. Can't wait to get some games in again!

40K Terrain WIP

These are coming along! I found a GW video instructional on painting these and used some of their techniques, plus a few added touches of my own. Once again, weathering powders go such a long way in adding some realism to your models. 

Next up is to match the bases to my Frontline Gaming F.A.T. mat. I also will add some dead vegetation too. Also some propaganda posters, blood spatters, etc. as well.

Finally, get PLAYING! 

Khorne Daemon Prince 2.0

Getting a lot done! I've primed my girl's first Daemon Prince I built from the old Bloodthirster model and a few more buildings as well. I was assembling a sale pile, and had this old metal DP in there, but thought I'd show it to her to see if she wanted it as a second Prince for her army. She loved it, so, I had to Khorne it up for her. Not much really, just did a weapon swap with the big axe and then added the vulture perched on him (she loves some birds).

I may add some chain or barbed wire to his wrist to cover up the sawing I had to do to get the axe angle right. Makes you appreciate converting with plastic!

Also swapped the head out on this Berserker Champion model; looks more Khorny now.

Inventory Day!

I'm feeling under the weather, so I should totally not rest and pull out all my models to take stock of what I have, what I need to build and paint, and what I need to sell. Riiiiight.

No idea where the energy is coming from, but I'm staying busy today. 

First up, my Nurgle stuff (and an awful picture). 

Great Unclean One

Typhus

2 Daemon Princes

2 Sorcerers of Nurgle in Terminator Armor

6 Death Guard Terminators

6 Beasts of Nurgle

11 Raptors

20 Nurgle Cultists

7 Nurgling bases

50 Plaguebearers

3 Obliterators

1 Helldrake

5 Nurgle Spawn

2 Soul Grinders

Not a bad bit of variety. It's getting close to being painted too, which is awesome. As far as plans for it going forward, it's looking like...

1. Finish painting it, obviously.

2. Wait for new Death Guard Marines to be released so it actually has some in the army.

3. Build some Plague Drones (still on sprues).

4. Try to convert some Plague Zombies for it again. Not happy with the last ones I tried.

5. PLAY!

Now onto the Khorne stuff for my girl. She's so ready to start!

Bloodthirster (Happy B-Day babe!)

Daemon Prince

20 Berzerkers

30 Bloodletters

24 Flesh Hounds

5 Juggernauts

1 Khorne Spawn

1 Blood Throne of Khorne

Khornate Defiler 

2 Land Raiders

4 Rhinos

Going forward, we must...

1. Get the Daemonkin codex, another Thirster', and some more Bloodletters.

2. Get her back into painting again. 

3. Teach her the game.

4. Build another Daemon Prince.

I also have some more terrain to build, including that destroyed Rhino piece I got in a trade a while back. I actually got a couple of buildings primed the other day between all the f'ing rain we've gotten lately. Will be painting some of those to get back into the saddle and back at finishing these projects. Still eyeing a potential Mechanicus force too, waiting on the codex to drop. 

Now to put the sale stuff together...and maybe a little Hellbrute project from some bits I found. 

Workin' on terrain...finally

I am completely uninspired to work on anything army-wise as of late. I have a few half done models here and there, a greater daemon to work on, and some old models to sell. Don't want to do any of it. Instead, it is time to prime!

I've had this terrain built for years. It's time to get these painted up so we'll have a more dynamic battlefield to play on. These kits were so much fun to work on, just a million ways to put them together. I've always preferred a destroyed Imperial city to fight on, going back to old White Dwarf magazines with great cityfight articles and pictures.

The terrain can be punishing for my usual play style of hand to hand, as there are a ton of walkways and fire lanes for shooters here. Some good cover at least; I also have a bunch of craters built which will help. Oh well, like Bob Morton says...life in the big city.

Here's a few examples. I can pretty much fill up a board with these, so it's time to get busy. I envision just some primer, basecoat, wash, and highlight for these. I'll add static grass growing up out of them to add to their dilapidated state. Maybe print up some propaganda posters to add here and there as well.

 End of the line for Mr. Berserker.

 These columns are cake decorations; they work great for some Imperial statues!

 I think the Orks got to this one.

Achtung!

So just a small update. I'm not dead. Or lost in the Warp. Or out of the hobby.

I am, however, nearing the end of the "season". Any by that I mean reenacting season for WWII. Things slow down in the hobby during the summer, for most units, so I'll be jumping back into things soon.

I was waiting on the rumored Adeptus Mechanicus codex to drop, but that's hasn't happened yet. Now Black Legion and Thousand Sons are getting some love, but I'm still over here waiting on Papa Nurgle to bless us all with something good. I did see some new Daemon formations that looked fun.

So I will continue to slug it out with the GIs and Russians, and be back soon!

Can't blame me, who wouldn't want to get to ride in one of these?

Also got a new toy. Her name is Sasha and she loves to go through blanks!
